Arsenal, Liverpool, Man Utd and Spurs BOOST as West Ham refuse to up Winston Reid offer

SOON TO BE A FREE AGENT: West Ham are reportedly unwilling to up their contract offer to Winston Reid [GETTY]

Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United and Tottenham are all monitoring Reid with his current deal set to expire at the end of the season.

The New Zealand international is thought to have rejected a new contract from the Hammers but football website Goal reports that the club are refusing to up the current offer on the table, which would make him one of their highest earners.

Arsenal were linked with Reid on transfer deadline day and Arsene Wenger remains keen to strengthen his threadbare defence in the January window.

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers and new Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino are also watching the Kiwi's situation but Manchester United appear to be the front-runners.

Red Devils boss Louis van Gaal has seen injuries decimate his defensive options and he knows he could land Reid on the cheap in January or for free next summer.

The 26-year-old has gradually established himself as one of West Ham's key performers after signing from Danish club Midtjylland in 2010.

He was named the club's player of the year in 2013 and has captained his country following the retirement of ex-Blackburn and Tottenham defender Ryan Nelson.
